QASHQAI J12

About the Qashqai J12

Nissan sharpened everything for the J12 Qashqai. The third generation arrived in 2021 on the CMF-C platform with a focus that earlier versions lacked — tighter body control, more responsive steering, and an interior that finally felt premium rather than aspirational. The e-POWER hybrid system delivers an EV-like driving experience without range anxiety, which is either brilliant engineering or a clever workaround depending on your perspective. In Europe, where the Qashqai practically invented its segment, the J12 proved Nissan still knows what the crossover crowd actually wants.
